• Main take home: Low-carb diets usually lead to more fat/weight loss than low-fat diets, even when the low-fat groups are calorie restricted while the low-carb groups are not.

• Low-carbohydrate diets also significantly improve major risk factors for diseases like cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes.
